27 Jul The 80s Are Alive With Stefanie Joosten’s Limited-Edition Vinyl ‘Singing to the Sky!’
‘Singing to the Sky’ marks the first time in 40 years that three-time Academy Award winning Italian producer-songwriter-composer Giorgio Moroder has put his name on a record by an emerging artist. The album joyfully brings back the iconic style of disco and 80s pop, with Moroder serving as executive producer in addition to writing several of the songs himself, including the single “Knock Me On My Feet.”
In addition to Moroder, ‘Singing to the Sky’ also features songs from Pete Bellotte and Tom Whitlock, famous for their work with Donna Summer, Berlin, Blondie, David Bowie, Irene Cara and Janet Jackson. Matt Sorum (Guns ‘n Roses) and legendary blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd also feature in several tracks. Additionally, the record is mixed by Dave Way, famous for his work with Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, Mick Jagger and the Foo Fighters. The album was mastered by Howie Weinberg, who has 21 Grammy awards and is known for his work with Nirvana, Aerosmith, Beastie Boys, Cheap Trick, Run-DMC, and other popular artists.
Giorgio Moroder
“Stefanie’s debut album is a celebration of disco and pop from the 80s. She’s an incredible singer with range, and we knew her voice could reinvent the past by bringing it into the future,” comments Giorgio Moroder. “When the masters came back we all sat back and couldn’t believe what we were hearing. It’s amazing. We haven’t heard this sound in a long time, but this particular sound, we have heard, never!”
“It’s been a once in a lifetime opportunity working with Giorgio and the rest of this incredible line-up of legendary artists,” says Joosten. “The sheer level of talent, professionalism and collaboration of this team have made this experience an absolute delight, and we hope that ‘Singing to the Sky’ will bring you all back to that beautiful sweet spot of disco/pop that signifies early 80s music.”
‘Singing to the Sky’ was recorded in Zurich and Los Angeles and produced by Raney Shockne and Sergei Kolobashkin. The album is published by 110 Industries, video game publisher behind the multi-platform game, ‘Wanted: Dead’, in which Joosten plays gunsmith Vivienne Niemantsverdriet.
The album is available digitally and on a limited-edition of 1000 vinyl LPs in shocking pink, distributed exclusively by Cook and Becker.
